I did everything I could do to erase you from me the way that you erased me from you so easily.

The days since you left me will turn into months, and those months into years. I will have destroyed every tangible memory between us, and I will finally learn to live a life without you in it.

What seems like a normal trip to the grocery store or just a walk around the block to you can bring up debilitating anxiety, panic, PTSD, and trauma responses for us.

No one has the right to tell you that your feelings are illegitimate because you weren’t in the type of relationship our society deems as “the right one.”

It’s midnight again, and you are the only thing on my mind.

This isn’t fair to either of us anymore. 

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with my life.

I don’t know why I ever thought I had to be “over it.”
